Radioactive Waste

8th December 2018

The National Waste Programme (NWP) has undertaken a number of significant pieces of work during the 2018 to 2019 financial year regarding the packaging of radioactive in the UK. As a result the Packaging to 2050 of Low Level Waste Identified in the UKRWI report has been produced. The report reviews the industries packaging needs to 2050 for waste identified in the UKRWI as LLW and includes demand profiles for key containers. The report also identifies gaps in container provision, barriers to the use of existing containers and additional work required to ensure that appropriate container provision will be available to support future LLW management up to 2050.

Clients have included Greenpeace, Nuclear Free Local Authorities, WWF Scotland and the UK Government’s Committee on Radioactive Waste Management.
